Jun Uozomi serves as the team captain. He regards Takenori Akagi as his rival, though he has never managed to defeat him personally. Despite this, Ryonan has occasionally triumphed over Shohoku. Their rivalry is not hostile; instead, it is marked by mutual respect that borders on friendship. During a match against Sannoh, when Akagi was outplayed and disheartened, Uozumi helped lift his spirits. After Ryonan's loss to Shohoku in the Kanagawa prefectural trials, which eliminated them from national competition, Uozumi left the team to train as a chef, given that his family owns a ramen restaurant. Sendoh then took over as team captain. Sakuragi often refers to him as "Boss Monkey" due to his robust build and height, similar to Akagi.
Uozumi's size and power are unparalleled in high school basketball. However, he initially started as a weak player and faced ridicule and bullying from his seniors for lacking skills despite his height. Coach Taoka Moichi of Ryonan encouraged him to persevere, and eventually, Uozumi developed into a formidable center. He is recognized as one of the top centers in the Kanagawa prefecture. Nevertheless, his short temper and lack of control during games have led to significant setbacks for his team on multiple occasions. For instance, during their second match with Shohoku, Hanamichi tricked him into committing four fouls, nearly resulting in his ejection.
